As if...
in anticipation of this QOTW I've just purchased a "Sound Asleep" pillow for my fella who likes to listen to music as he's drifting off.

Could be good, could be shite... There's only one way to find out...

I'll let you have the one I bought my Mum who, being moderately deaf (not totally mutton but needs help), can't hear it fucking playing....

Thanks for the offer!
Have you had a go with it yourself? Does it work well for peeps with normal hearing?

What will it do,

That's pretty much what we have now...
Having the music on through our DAB is fine if it's just me and him in the house but if we have guests we don't really want to disturb them.

Supposedly the pillow allows just the person using it to hear the music. As you're sleeping right on top of the speaker you can keep it low volume so as not to disturb anyone else.

Odd.
I'd just shut the bedroom door, if I were you.

My other half has one
and it works just fine - if the volume is low I can't even hear it from my side of the bed.

1. Don't tell him you've changed the pillow
2. Find an mp3 of Ride of the Valkyries
3. Set the alarm for 4am
4. When he bolts up, he can no longer hear the song, right?
5. Profit

Wobbly lines
About 35 years ago, I used to listen to Radio Luxembourg of a night using a so-called pillow speaker that plugged into the earphone socket of my not-so-portable Roberts multi-band radio.

The speaker was a plastic disc about 3" in diameter that you slid under your pillow, setting the radio volume low enough so that only you could hear it.

The disadvantage was if you caught the wire with your arm when turning over in bed and yanked the plug out of the radio: the bedroom was filled with a tinny blast of Kid Jensen's transatlantic tones, or whatever popular beat combo was in the hit parade at the time.
